That’s a hangover waiting to happen! :lol:

Glad you got it sorted. Please do a write up on the whole process. I would love the education.

Thanks Guys,

Like all of you when you have a difficult issue to resolve persistence pays off. Using a scope got me pointed in the right direction. Someone in another thread had a cool little $70 scope that fits in the palm of you hand. When troubleshoot difficult issues it can be impossible to determine what is wrong if you don't look at the signals. I will detail what was happening in a different post with some diagrams, since pictures speak a thousand words.

First you are going to like Acorn and the stability of the software. Your efforts will have paid off.
Second, I can't stress enough folks sharing their experiences and how they resolved them here on the forums. Hopefully they are going to help others.

Thanks again Russ, look forward to your summary with a "clear" head now.😁
